Experienced tutor in Pilates in Scottsdale, Rachael offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Working with Rachael has been a wonderful experience. Her knowledge and instruction has quickly created increased mobility and relief of my back pain issues as well as noticeable strengthening of my core. She is professional and personable, which makes my Pilates workouts something I really look forward to!

After a year of working from home at the computer and old injuries starting to become more serious long term issues, it was time for me to find someone who could help me fix my body. Rachael's Romana's Pilates is doing just that. I wasn't sure what to expect from a Zoom Pilates class, but Rachael really knows the body and has eyes like a hawk! She sees every little correction needed and has a gift for explaining how to move and correct body postures so I can understand what to do. And some of her metaphors crack me up (like John Travolta toe, apparently I have one). She's tough, personable and sweet, and she has a real gift for instruction.

Rachael is a master teacher and through her guidance my body has been totally changed in just eight months. Pilates really is the transformative practice people say it is. At 62 I had many issues--including stiff joints, arthritis, limited mobility, chronic pain, and poor posture, and I did not think it possible to make major improvements.



Rachael's teaching style is more like alchemy. Through her boundless encouragement and focused attention, she coaches me to move in ways I never thought possible. Further, she upholds the pure lineage of Pilates, which provides great insight on how to move the body properly and why these movements make such a positive difference.

I found Pilates through a friend who suggested the practice. She thought that it would help with my neck and back pain more than yoga and stretching. I have to admit at first I thought Pilates was more for women, but I gave it a shot. Glad I did, I got lucky finding Rachael! Come to find out, Pilates is a holistic and therapeutic core intensive workout that when instructed in a particular way is very beneficial. Rachael's training and aptitude has given her the ability to coach and push in private lessons while monitoring for strain or harmful discomfort. I have a blown disk at C7 and lumbar pain that has been soothed rather than inflamed by the Pilates routines with Rachael. Her expert guidance in movement has provided relief from pain that I was beginning to think was permanent.
